The Geometry of Acceleration in Space-Time: Application to the Gravitational Field and Particles
Henrik Vilhelm Broberg
Keywords: space-time, gravitational process, Hubble scale
In a paper presented June 1997, at a conference in Athens, the author developed a holistic view of the Universe and its components, all joined together in a common geometry in four-dimensional space-time, applied to the Universe as a whole, as well as to its constituent components--the particles.
The ideas documented here, which form a continuation of the Athens paper, were introduced in a first draft from February 1999 at a lecture to the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur and later in September the same year at the Cesena conference. They initially concern a new approach to quantum gravity, the missing link to unification, but also extend to a discussion of energy flows in the vacuum as the mechanism of the gravitational process. The ideas introduced here are also related to string theory, although in a transformation scenario where differentials of any size are allowed, and therefore an extra dimension, representing the "thickness of the line," can be allowed from the Plank length up to the Hubble scale.
